Network

A group of two or more devices/computers connected together to allow for the exchange of information and for the sharing of resources is call a _

Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

A small computer within your smartphone that analyzes the sounds entering your phone through the analog/digital converter.

Analog-Digital Converter (ADC)

Allow smartphones to receive an analog sound wave, such as a person's voice, and convert it to a digital signal that can be processed and stored by a computer.

Supply Chain Management

Blockchain allows shippers and customers to verify with almost absolute certainty where items and goods are along the supply chain thus removing guesswork and inefficiencies.

Quality Assurance

Blockchain can be used to trace mistakes and errors in manufacturing back to the point of origin.

Business Contracts

Blockchain makes changing any information in a contract almost impossible. This proves to be advantageous for businesses that are dealing with multiple contracts.

Project management Capabilities

Collaboration software allows project leads the ability to create the plan and schedule and share this with all members of the team.

Mobile Switching Station

Controls all the transmissions between cellular phone towers and their base transceiver stations

Improved engagement

Engaging remote employees can be a challenge. Collaboration software helps to create engagement by allowing remote and organization-based employees the ability to exchange and interact.

Density Maps

GIS can map population densities based on a standardized unit of measure (kilometers). This can assist decision making related to increased police presence or mapping of delivery routes.

Quantity Maps

GIS can provide information related to how many businesses are present in a certain geographic area. This can help businesses to make more informed decisions about where to open their next store.

Reduce / Decrease

Large and small businesses find they can ___ their reliance on internal IT infrastructure and reduce cost by utilizing Cloud-based technologies.

Better Communication

People from across the organization, regardless of their physical location, can share content in real-time including documents, spreadsheets, videos, and messages.

- Place the call -Your phone converts your voice into an electrical signal that is transmitted via radio waves to the nearest cell tower. -Call is received by nearest tower, then relayed to a system / network of cell towers where it is then converted and received by the phone you are calling. - Person on the other end accepts call, their voice is converted back into an electrical signal that is sent back to you through the network.

Put the steps of cellular communication (placing a call on a cellular network) in the correct order, starting with placing a call.

Streamlined Workflow

Scheduling activities can easily be added and updated in the software. Remote team members are actively engaged in workflow, duties, and processes due to the real-time nature of the software.

Select what's true about Geographic Information Systems (GIS). More than one answer may be selected.

blockchain

Software and technologies that uses computer code that creates concatenated (linked together) blocks of transactions ____ allows people to share a digital ledger across a network of computers. There is no need for a central source of control because no single entity has the ability to tamper with the records.

Monetary Transactions

The encryption used in Blockchain makes it ideal for monetary transactions. Also, blockchain eliminates the need for banks to handle monetary transactions.

The next evolution in the development of the World Wide Web, Web __ will include many features and tools that allow individuals to make better use of the billions of web pages on the Internet, the wide array of smartphone applications, and to make the best use of the Internet of Things (IoT).

2.0 OR 2

The second-generation Internet which is based on interactivity and dynamic content and allows people to collaborate and share information online.is called Web

Folksonomy

There are four key features of Web 2.0. One key feature allows users to collectively determine the classification of information. For example, tagging of websites, images, videos, and links. This key feature is called:

Base Transceiver Station (BTS)

Transmits cell phone signals to the cellular system's mobile switching station.

Collaboration

Using collaboration software people from across the organization, regardless of their physical location, people can share content in real-time including documents, spreadsheets, videos, and messages. This leads to better ____ which is one of the benefits of using collaboration software.

IoT SaaS ubiquitous computing

Web 3.0 is the next evolution in the development of the World Wide Web and is built to support a variety of applications and services including: (More than one answer may be selected.)

Route Information

When a user has determined their destination, GIS can assist in providing directions matches

Proximity Location

With a location specified, the GIS finds targets within the defined area. This can include gas stations, hospitals, and retail stores.

SaaS: Software as a Service

allows users to access software applications using a web browser and Internet connection. A good example of this is Microsoft 365. Another example is Google apps. For a business that relies on many software licenses this is an ideal choice.

IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service

is a computing infrastructure that includes processing, data storage, and more. It is used to help in running an organization's information systems. It allows an organization to avoid the cost of acquiring and managing its own physical servers and datacenter architecture. It is also scalable so companies only pay for what they use. This makes it ideal for a business that is small and considering expansion. (gives the most manageability)

PaaS: Platform as a Service

offers hardware and software tools needed for application and software development via the Internet. It is the ideal choice for firms that are developing new apps and works well when developers are working in teams by enabling sharing of resources across multiple development teams
